Join AREI!

The year 2018 will be a pivotal year in humankind's understanding of the other realms of life and advancements in communication with people living there. Experts in the afterlife realm are publishing brilliant expositions of the world we all will soon be living in. Many methods of communicating with people in the afterlife realm are being used successfully today, and more are being developed regularly. In the near future, afterlife communication will be commonplace.
You can help make that happen by joining AREI. To inspire as many people as we can to join in this important work, during 2018 the $39 dues to join AREI will be reduced to $25.

Bequests Help Bring Light to the World

Humankind will live in peace, love, and harmony when afterlife communication is commonplace. The greatest obstacle to that becoming a reality is the lack of funding for afterlife research, development, and education. After you have provided for your family in your will, consider making a bequest that will enable the Afterlife Research and Education Institute to fund the dedicated researchers, developers, and educators who are now struggling because of lack of funding as they strive to bring life-changing knowledge about the afterlife to humankind. You will play an important role in bringing light to a darkened world. The Afterlife Research and Education Institute, Inc., is an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Contact R. Craig Hogan, Ph.D., President, at r.craig.hogan@afterlifeinstitute.org.
